Eyes To The Sky by John D. Mahoney

The Battle of Britain.

The Blitz of Portsmouth.

The Nazi troop build-up in readiness for the Invasion of Europe.

The dire shortages and rationing —“ while, over head, air battles raged.
And through it all, there was school to be attended —“ mostly pressed up inside the school air-raid shelter. For three years!
The trauma of returning to find one’s home wrecked. The comical reactions of pets to the whistling bombs, the inevitable clashes with Wilson the local bobby as we scrumped fruit from an orchard to supplement our meager rations…
And when The Invasion happened, we asked if there was ever going to be a Victory celebration?

“A perception of war through children’s eyes, viewed as something of an exciting yet scary game with a Hollywood ending —“ unlike any account of the War you’ve read before.”
